Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. Patients with pathological complete response (pCR) after NCRT (15~21% of the total) could benefit from either less invasive surgery or a “wait-and-see” strategy. A radiomics model is proposed in this work based on diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) result before NCRT is used to predict pCR of rectal cancer.
